Love and Hate for Pamela Geller

LOVE PAMELA GELLER  She does basic shoe-leather reporting that no one else in the country is doing.  No one.  Take the Rifqa Bary case.  Not one so-called journalist bothers with the necessary legwork to accurately report this story.  Like it or not, there is only one source for this story:  Pamela Geller.  What's more, Geller does not subscribe to the delusional and deceptive premise that journalism must be neutral.

HATE PAMELA GELLER  But Geller has a problem:  She presents poorly.  There's just no other way to say it.  Geller does not present herself well and people, regardless of their own ideological convictions, often have a hard time taking her seriously.  Ordinarily I couldn't care less.  But the problem is, like I said above, Geller is the ONLY source for accurate reporting on Rifqa Bary.  If she is not taken seriously, and she is not, then the story suffers.  And, the truth is dismissed with the messenger.

While Geller should clean up her image, the real tragedy here is that so-called journalists are not doing their job.  Undoubtedly part of the issue is that one cannot turn to Muslim preachers or Islamic scholars for accurate information.  The preachers practice Taqiyya, which is beyond the comprehension of journalists, and the scholars have a vested interest in portraying Islam in a positive light.  The easy solution:  Just go read the Islamic texts.

Is that so difficult?
